[egit-dev] Release 1.3 ahead; 2.0 release planned for Juno

[egit-dev] Release 1.3 ahead; 2.0 release planned for Juno

Release JGit / EGit 1.3 is coming closer, we agreed with

Wayne to have the release review on Feb 15 in order

to reach Indigo SR2. This means we need an approved

IP log and release documentation one week earlier.

So I will fork stable-1.3 soon (Tuesday or Wednesday)

and then submit the IP logs for review. Contributor patches

which should reach 1.3 should be ideally submitted before

I submit the IP logs so that these don't get invalidated.

Next release after 1.3 will be 2.0 which we plan to tag for Juno

in June. We are going to bump the versions to 2.0 in order

to include a couple of incompatible JGit API changes mostly

around exception handling.

Authors of incompatible changes for JGit 2.0 please link your

proposed changes and individual bugs to

Candidates I am aware of are (add the incompatible changes

you are working on for 2.0 to the mentioned bug 369461):

Bug 366914 - Git api does not declare GitAPIException in throws clause of call() method

Bug 349366 - CloneOperation throws generic JGitInternalException instead of specific exception

Bug 323182 - Make MergeResult easier to work with

Bug 356922 - Remove ambiguous CheckoutConflictException

Bug 305347 - Change JGit exceptions to be their own top-level checked type that isn't IOException

Bug 314457 - JGit porcelain API should be able to report progress

Bug 356918 - Fast-forward merge fails with JGitInternalException when work tree is dirty

(not sure if this is incompatible)
